What’s goin’ on, Living Soil Community? It’s been kinda quiet around here lately. What weekend plans are you growin’?

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I think it’s great to hear what works for everyone. I used to keep my seeds randomly in a large envelope or ziplock bag. But when I started gardening again, I realized I like to be able to see my collection. I put everything in old binders with card sleeves. I chose categories that worked for me (Alliums, Brassicas, Flowers, Fruit, Herbs, etc.) I then heard about using an inventory sheet, and that was just the best thing I added. The most important part being expiration dates on the inventory sheet! So now I can look for my oldest seeds on the sheet without having to look at each and every envelope. How do you store your seeds? What didn’t work for you? Please share with pictures!

Good morning In cities and towns across the world, people are growing hearty plants without harsh chemicals. They’re following nature and her clues to creating healthy soils teeming with microorganisms and mini ecosystems right under our feet. Your mission, should you choose to accept, is most possible: 1️⃣ Macro photograph Nature near you, as up close and personal as you can safely get. 2️⃣ Share the 🌱🌻 or 🐝 in the comments. 3️⃣ Most likes wins the week. This mini-challenge will self-destruct on Friday at 9 pm PDT. Good luck.
